Софония 1
Библия, синодално издание
1 (A)Слово Господне, което биде към Софония, син на Хусия, син на Годолия, син на Амория, син на Езекия, в дните на Иосия, син Амонов, цар иудейски.
2 Всичко ще изтребя от лицето на земята – казва Господ:
3 (B)ще изтребя човеци и добитък, ще изтребя птици небесни и риби морски, и съблазните заедно с нечестивите; ще изтребя човеците от лицето на земята, казва Господ.
4 (C)И ще простра ръката Си върху Иудея и върху всички жители на Иерусалим; ще изтребя от това място остатъците на Ваала, името на жреците със свещениците,
5 (D)и ония, които върху покривите се покланят на воинството небесно, и ония от покланящите се, които се кълнат в Господа и се кълнат в царя си,
6 и ония, които отстъпиха от Господа, не търсиха Господа и не Го подирват.
7 (E)Замълчи пред лицето на Господа Бога, защото близо е денят Господен. Вече приготви Господ жертвеното клане, назначи, кого да повика.
8 (F)И в деня на жертвата Господня Аз ще споходя князете, синовете на царя и всички, които се обличат в дреха на чуждоплеменници;
9 ще споходя в оня ден всички, които прескачат праг, които дома на своя Господ напълнят с насилие и измама.
10 И ще има в оня ден, казва Господ, вик при Рибни порти и ридание при другите порти и голямо разрушение на хълмовете.
11 Плачете, жители от долната част на града, защото ще изчезне целият търговски народ, и изтребени ще бъдат натоварените със сребро.
12 (G)И в онова време Аз ще огледам Иерусалим със светило и ще накажа ония, които седят на дрождието си и казват в сърце си: „Господ не прави ни добро, ни зло“, –
13 (H)и ще станат богатствата им плячка, и къщите им ще запустеят; те ще построят къщи, а няма да живеят в тях, ще насадят лозя, а вино от тях няма да пият.
14 (I)Близо е великият ден Господен, близо – и твърде бърза: вече се чува гласът на деня Господен. Горчиво ще завика тогава и най-храбрият!
15 (J)Ден на гняв е тоя ден, ден на скръб и на теснотия, ден на опустошение и разорение, ден на тъма и на мрак, ден на облак и на мъгла,
16 ден на тръба и на боен вик против укрепени градове и високи кули.
17 И Аз ще стесня човеците, и те ще ходят като слепи, защото съгрешиха против Господа, и разхвърлена ще бъде кръвта им като прах, и плътта им – като смет.
18 (K)Ни среброто им, нито златото им не ще може да ги спаси в деня на гнева Господен, и от огъня на ревността Му ще бъде погълната цялата тая земя, защото изтребване, и при това внезапно, ще извърши Той над всички жители земни.
Zephaniah 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
Zephaniah’s Prophecy
1 This is the word that the Lord spoke to Zephaniah, who was the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, and the great-grandson of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. The Lord spoke his word in the days of Judah’s King Josiah, son of Amon.
The Lord Will Judge the Earth
2 “I will gather everything on the face of the earth
and put an end to it,” declares the Lord.
3 “I will put an end to humans and animals.
I will put an end to
the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
and the sins that make people fall, together with the sinners.
I will remove all people from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
The Lord Will Judge Judah
4 “I will use my power against Judah
and against those who live in Jerusalem.
I will remove the faithful few of Baal from this place
and the names of the pagan priests along with my priests.
5 I will remove those who worship all the stars in the sky on their rooftops
and those who worship by swearing loyalty to the Lord
while also swearing loyalty to the god Milcom.[a]
6 I will remove those who have turned away from following the Lord
and those who no longer seek the Lord or ask him for help.”
7 Be silent in the presence of the Almighty Lord,
because the day of the Lord is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice.
He has invited his special guests.
8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice I will punish the officials,
the king’s sons, and all who dress in foreign clothing.[b]
9 On that day I will punish all who jump over the doorway
and all who fill their master’s house with violence and deception.
10 On that day a loud cry will come from Fish Gate,
a howling from the Second Part of the city,
and a loud crashing sound from the hills,” declares the Lord.
11 “Howl, inhabitants of the Mortar,[c]
because all the merchants will be destroyed
and all who handle money will be killed.
12 “At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those
who are satisfied with their hardened lifestyle,
who think that the Lord won’t do anything—good or bad.
13 Their wealth will be looted.
Their homes will be demolished.
They will build houses, but they won’t live in them.
They will plant vineyards, but they won’t drink their wine.”
The Day of the Lord
14 The frightening day of the Lord is near.
It is near and coming very quickly.
Listen! Warriors will cry out bitterly on the day of the Lord.
15 That day will be a day of overflowing fury,
a day of trouble and distress,
a day of devastation and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and overcast skies,
16 a day of rams’ horns and battle cries
against the fortified cities
and against the high corner towers.
17 “I will bring such distress on humans that they will walk like they are blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord.”
Their blood will be poured out like dust
and their intestines like manure.
18 Their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them
on the day of the Lord’s overflowing fury.
The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery anger,
because he will put an end, a frightening end,
to those who live on earth.
Zephaniah 1
New King James Version
The Great Day of the Lord(A)
1 The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of (B)Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
The Great Day of the Lord
2 “I will [a]utterly consume everything
From the face of the land,”
Says the Lord;
3 “I(C) will consume man and beast;
I will consume the birds of the heavens,
The fish of the sea,
And the [b]stumbling blocks along with the wicked.
I will cut off man from the face of the [c]land,”
Says the Lord.
4 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[d]I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the (D)idolatrous[e] priests with the pagan priests—
5 Those (E)who worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear (F)by [f]Milcom;
6 (G)Those who have turned back from following the Lord,
And (H)have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
7 (I)Be silent in the presence of the Lord God;
(J)For the day of the Lord is at hand,
For (K)the Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has [g]invited His guests.
8 “And it shall be,
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish (L)the princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
9 In the same day I will punish
All those who (M)leap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,
“The sound of a mournful cry from (N)the Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.
11 (O)Wail, you inhabitants of [h]Maktesh!
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off.
12 “And it shall come to pass at that time
That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
And punish the men
Who are (P)settled[i] in complacency,
(Q)Who say in their heart,
‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’
13 Therefore their goods shall become booty,
And their houses a desolation;
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards, but (R)not drink their wine.”
14 (S)The great day of the Lord is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 (T)That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of (U)trumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers.
17 “I will bring distress upon men,
And they shall (V)walk like blind men,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
Their blood shall be poured out like dust,
And their flesh like refuse.”
18 (W)Neither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.
